2024-05-15 Accident · Franklin, TN Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · ERA24FA217
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft V35
Probable cause: The pilot s flight into convective weather, which resulted in a loss of control due to spatial disorientation and a subsequent inflight breakup of the airplane. Contributing to the accident was the lack of accurate weather intensity depiction on the controller s display, which limited the controller s ability to warn the pilot of hazardous weather along the route of flight.
